Making duckeroni snack sticks

[blacktail]

First time.
What say you on best meat to cut with?
I've heard pork butts or beef fat?
Picking up a Hi mountain season kit hunters blend good for 20#s.

Pork if I were going to do it.

Pork butt. I’d do 2/3 duck and 1/3 pork in snack sticks.

If you are doing that amount try using a good bacon for your pork. It makes a difference.

We get pork trimmings from the local butcher.

I've done pork butts before but I dodnt think they have enough fat in them switched over to beef fat about 15% works best for me.

I've tried a few methods. Cutting with pork (meat and fat) doesn't yield the best sticks. Cutting your duck with just pork fat is the best. I have tried a few different mixes and find that 75% lean duck breast (or venison) meat and 25% pork fat by weight is the best.

I use the hi mountain seasoning and like it a lot.

Are you using collagen casings and doing them in a smoker? I can give you some tips that work for me if you cook that way.

You got a recipe for that? I'm trying to kill at least one more and I'd like to try snack sticks.
